Inhaltsangabe

Mercy arrived in Canada in 2009, full of life and excitement following her husband's appointment as high commissioner (ambassador) of the Republic of Cameroon. As she settled in her new environment, she could not have suspected that just seven months later, her life would take a dramatic turn. She awoke one morning complaining of fatigue, fever, a headache, and blurred vision, and was rushed to hospital with what she thought was a routine ailment. But a medical misdiagnosis would turn her life upside down. When she was placed in a wheelchair upon arriving the ER, little did she know that she had just taken her last steps on her own two feet. She soon slipped into a coma and wavered between life and death for weeks, then eventually made a miraculous recovery after undergoing high-risk open-heart surgery. But this recovery was to simply prepare her for the horror of yet another grim and dreary reality, the amputation of her two arms and two legs. Through fears and further mishaps, and with two prosthetic arms, two prosthetic legs, and two prosthetic heart valves, Mercy emerges and soon finds her stride. She surprises us with grace, strength and ingenuity as an entrepreneur, a diplomat's confidante, a woman of faith. Despite her ordeal, Mercy shuns bitterness and resentment, choosing to embrace life, love, compassion, and forgiveness as she seeks to shine a light on those in the trenches and throes of despair. Miracle of Mercy is an uplifting true story of courage in the face of adversity. It will make you shed a tear, and then cheer as Mercy charts a new inspirational course for her life guided by faith, fortitude, and the support of her family and community.
